We're Now Offering Discounts on the New Disney Tickets!

Walt Disney World rolled out a big change to its ticket options Oct. 16, and we're very hoppy to be offering discounts on date-based and flexible-date tickets! This post dives into all the ins and outs of these new Disney ticket types so you can pick the best ones for you and your family.

If you're ready to purchase, just hop on to it! You can see all of our discount Disney World tickets, including date-based and flexible-date tickets. We're offering physical, mailed tickets and E-tickets! Click the ticket details to see the terms for that specific ticket. For those who want to learn more about the changes to the ticket types and pricing, keep reading!

Disney World Date-Based Ticket Pricing

With Disney date-based ticket pricing, guests must select their intended start date in the parks in order to see the exact cost of tickets. The lowest-priced dates generally coincide with the least-busy times to visit, so vacationers who visit in the off-season will pay less than those who visit during peak times such as summer and holidays. With date-based tickets on Undercover Tourist, you can select your start date from the top calendar and then scroll down to see the list of prices for 1-Day through 10-Day tickets. You also have the option of clicking within a specific ticket, the 5-Day Disney Theme Park Ticket with Park Hopper Option, for example, and selecting the start date from that calendar to see prices.

These tickets can be used on non-consecutive days, but they will have to be used within a specific time period (more on this below). Those who are trying to save the most amount of money on tickets will want to choose the date-based option and select from the lowest-priced dates.

Disney World Flexible-Date Ticket Pricing

Those of you who don't yet know your travel dates or don't yet want to commit to a start date can select the Flexible-Date option at a higher price. With this option, the first day of use of your ticket can be any day on or before the expiration (currently Dec. 31, 2019). Additionally, with this option you have 14 days (from first use) to use all of your ticket days. (You can always find the expiration and other terms on ticket details page of each specific ticket!)

Keep in mind that whatever type of ticket you select, generally the more days you select, the lower your cost per day. As always, our prices include tax and free shipping, and we hopfully show the savings vs. adult gate prices.

Same Disney World (Base) Ticket, Different Name

With the Disney ticket-pricing changes, there is a new name for the base ticket, although the functionality is the same. These tickets can be linked to My Disney Experience and MagicBands for FastPass+ reservations!

If you want to be able to visit multiple theme parks in one day, you will select the Park Hopper Option.

If you want to be able to visit multiple theme parks in one day, plus a select number of visits to water parks and more, you will select Park Hopper Plus Option.

Using Disney World Date-Based Tickets on Non-Consecutive Days

Just as has been the case in the past, multi-day tickets can be used on non-consecutive days, but now the number of days you have to use your ticket varies by the number of days on your ticket and ticket type. Once you select your ticket type, the number of ticket days and your start date, you will see a valid use period that begins on your starting date. (If you select Flexible Start Date tickets, your use period is 14 days.)

Making Changes to Disney World Date-Based Tickets

The process for making changes or upgrading your Disney World date-based tickets purchased through Undercover Tourist has also changed! For changes or upgrades to mailed Disney World date-based tickets:

If it's before your start date and/or within 90 days of your order date: Please contact Undercover Tourist with your order number and the requested change.

If it's after your start date and/or 90 days of your order date: Please contact Disney Guest Services or make changes through My Disney Experience.

For mailed tickets, we have a 90-day refund policy. We offer a 95% refund if tickets were purchased within the last 90 days and have not gone past the selected start date. They cannot have been modified by Disney Guest Services or through My Disney Experience or have been activated by entering the park. Please refer to the ticket details of the specific ticket for more information!

My question: my daughters are taking their younger children to Disneyland. I need to go so that the third child will be able to ride the older rides. I am unable to ride bc of my health and can not walk without a walker. We were told a ten year can not stand in line alone for rides. Are their discount tickets for individuals like myself who can not ride any of the rides? Thank you for your reply, Rosa

Trying to plan our trip in April the best way possible without breaking the bank. We have 8 days to play. Staying at Loews Sapphire. Would like to visit Disney & Universal four days each. What’s the best way to buy our tickets?

We have tons of discounted ticket options for both Disney and Universal! We recommend getting a 4-day ticket for each. Base tickets will work perfectly fine, but we do prefer park hoppers for ultimate flexibility, if you find them in your budget.

I just got my tickets that I ordered the other day well ahead of the should be received date. It was pouring outside today when I checked the mail box the envelope was soaked. I want to thank you so much for having them in plastic it saved my tickets.

Do you have to use your ticket on the start date? We are going for 2 days Feb 13 and 14, a Weds. and thurs. Every day that week has different and escalating prices. If I bought a 2 day starting 2/11 (the cheapest) it says use 2 days between 2/11 and 14. Would our visits on the 13 and 14 be covered or does one of the days have to be the start date, 2/11?

Great question! Yes, if you purchased a 2-Day ticket starting 2/11, your valid use period would be any two days between 2/11 and 2/14. We list the valid use period for all ticket types above in the post, and you can also see this information on the individual ticket detail pages!

Does using the Disney app to lock in a fastpass reservation activate the starting first day of a ticket? Or does actually going through the gate activate the first day of the ticket? For example, if you book a fastpass 30 (or 60 days) ahead of time, but then change your trip plans before actually going through the gate, can the start date be when you actually use the ticket and not the date you made of the fastpass?

The ticket is activated once you enter the park. If it’s a date-based ticket, you select the start date when you purchase the ticket, and then you activate that ticket by entering a park any time within your valid use period.

You must link your ticket in My Disney Experience to make FastPass+ reservations, and while you have to select a date and park to book FastPass+, you are also free to change them and are not “locked” in.

If I purchase two "No start date" tickets from Undercover Tourist can I use them sometime in 2020 (after the December 31st 2019 expiration date)? I just have to pay any additional cost if the tickets have increased in price, right?

I purchased physical tickets from Undercover Tourist that expire on February 28, 2019. Our trip starts on February 25, 2019. My understanding was that as long as our date of first use was prior to Feb 28, we would be able to use all 6 days of our tickets (within the 14 days expiration, of course.) However, I am getting different information from Disney. Has the policy changed in the last few weeks? Thanks!

If we purchase a 3 day undercover tourist ticket can we use our first day on the 29th December, second day the 31 st December and third day 2nd January. Or does it expire on the 31st and we wont be able to use our third day in January. Thanks

You can find the expiration date of each ticket under "Ticket Details." Days do not have to be used consecutively...there are usage windows for this particular ticket! You can read more here. Hope this helps!

Hi. We are planning our biennial trip to WDW for March of 2020. Are there any "old price" tickets available for purchase that would be valid for that date or do all tickets expire by end of 2019? Thanks.

The Water Park Fun and More ticket has not been offered for several years, but the equivalent ticket, the Park Hopper Plus Option still exists. While supplies last, we are offering limited inventory of e-tickets that would offer a longer use period than the tickets Disney introduced this week. Please see the specific ticket details!

Going forward under the new ticketing, a four-day ticket with the Park Hopper Plus Option would give you four "fun visits.” You would have to use all of these within the specified window, beginning on your start date (for a four-day ticket this would be seven days), unless you selected the Flexible-Start Date ticket.

I understand that using 5 day park hopper passes purchased a few years ago that have expired will require visiting guest services at one of the parks and paying the difference (if any.) prior to using the tickets. Can I still link the tickets to MyDisneyExperience and set-up FastPasses prior to arriving at the park?

I’m confused. In the past you could purchase a say 4 day ticket (not a Park Hopper) and if your stay in Orlando was actually a week you could decide which park to visit and what day with some flexibility to make changes due to weather. Now, do I need to know the exact dates that week I am going so I can be charged a specific ticket price?

For a limited time, we are offering the previous ticket options while supplies last! We highly recommend you buy your tickets now to lock in the savings and flexibility! (Our current tickets are valid through the expiration date listed on the ticket detail pages. For multi-day Disney e-tickets, this is December 31, 2019.)

Going forward, you will need to know your exact start date (or pay an additional fee for Flexible-Date tickets). The number of days you have to use your ticket will vary depending on the length of the ticket. We’ve updated the post with these specific details.

I will be traveling to DisneyWorld with my family of 10 in August for 6 days. I have purchased thru your company in the past. My Question is if I purchase park tickets today do I need to register them to

My Disney account today so that I do not get stuck with the flexible pricing.

Do you think with the new ticket structure your discounts will only be good on the flexible ticket option or will you be able to link to the calendar to offer deeper discounts for the days selected for peak and off peak?

I know you don't have a crystal ball, but what do you think are the chances that multi-day tickets may be a better deal under the new system? I'm planning a trip for early May 2019 and wondering if I should bite the bullet now or wait until after the 16th!

I purchased my tickets in advance for Disney World. Now they implemented new prices. Will there be a refund for tickets already purchased for anyone that bought them prior to the change? I'm going at the end of October.

It will be interesting to see if the low-traffic days will have a base price similar to the current ticket price or if they might be lower (seems like wishful thinking, though). I also wonder if this will result in fewer of those magical days when you go to the park and it's not crowded, since more people will be trying to take advantage of the cheaper dates. Can't wait to see!
